Kitchen Kop’s Beef Stroganoff Recipe (The whole family loves this!)

Beef Stroganoff has always been one of my favorites, and I’m also crazy about Beef Burgundy. The other day I combined the two recipes and was it ever goooood. The whole family loved it…how often does that happen at your house?

I like this recipe because it takes five minutes to start it in the morning, you can be gone all day, and then it’s not too much trouble to throw it all together later…

Add 1 cup whole milk slowly and when it begins to thicken, add 3 cups of any combination of the following (I’ve tried all of them depending on what I have on hand and they’re all good): plain yogurt, sour cream, or more whole milk. If it seems too thick, add milk. Keep in mind that it will thicken more as you continue stirring over medium heat, but you’ll be thinning it some, too, as you add the rest of the liquid ingredients.

Once it begins to thicken, strain the broth from the crock-pot into the pan with the white sauce. Keep stirring as it thickens again.

Add about 1/2 c. of burgundy wine, or your favorite red wine, and add more as you taste test to see how you like it.

If you feel like it you could also add any herbs you’d like for more flavors.

Now your meat should be falling apart easily after cooking it all day and cool enough to handle. I just go through it with my hands, but you could use a knife and fork if you want to – toss the gunky parts and add the pieces of beef to the pan.

Once your broth is strained and there are no more veggie scraps in there, just whisk about 6 T. of arrowroot with cold water and then stir it into your broth to thicken a little. Add the meat back in, along with a cup or so of sour cream, the wine, and any flavorings you like (chopped onions, minced garlic, parsley, sea salt and pepper, maybe a bay leaf or two), and let simmer another hour or so to get the flavors through. Serve over Rice Noodles.

More Crock Pot Meals – I need more of these, seems we have more nights than not when we have everyone going in different directions. If you have any easy crock pot recipes that your whole family loves, please share!

That does sound delicious. I think I, too, will put it on the menu for next week (or the week after…it *is* Thanksgiving after all)…

I happened across a spaetzel-making tool once, and our family adores the stuff now. When I visited Germany the summer after graduating high school, I stayed with a family that served beef stroganoff with homemade noodles–rolled out. My mouth still waters, remembering that meal. One of these days I’m going to figure out how to make the noodles. Your recipe looks like a good candidate for imitating the meat!

Are you talking about the veggie scraps that I throw in the crock pot in the morning? (Not veggies that we could eat, just the scraps after cutting them up for something else.) I just toss those after straining, they are just for more flavor and nutrients, but after boiling all day they’re all icky and ready to be tossed.

Okay, I wasn’t sure what veggie scraps were…lol So I just added regular veggies into the crockpot and then added them to the sauce. I love this recipe, it was delicious!!! Mine came out a little runny, what could I do to thicken it up….add flour to the sauce? Thanks again!!
